Side-by-side comparison
Digify is a document DRM tool. Peony is a complete virtual data room that includes document protection plus everything else you need to share, track, and secure documents at scale.
PeonyWhy teams switch from Digify to Peony
Digify protects individual files. But growing teams need organized data rooms, deeper analytics, e-signatures, and AI-powered document intelligence — at a price that scales.
Full data rooms
Digify shares documents one at a time. Peony lets you organize hundreds of files into branded data rooms with folder structures and granular access — ideal for fundraising, M&A, and due diligence.
Deeper analytics
Digify shows basic open tracking. Peony shows page-by-page view time, scroll depth, and visitor details — so you know exactly which slides investors care about most.
AI document chat
Peony lets recipients ask questions about your documents and get instant AI-powered answers 24/7. Digify has no document intelligence or AI features.
92% lower cost
Digify starts at $190 per month with no free tier. Peony's Business plan is $40 per admin per month — with full data rooms, e-signatures, AI, and screenshot protection included.
Pricing comparison
Peony gives you data rooms, watermarks, analytics, AI chat, and e-signatures — all at a fraction of what Digify charges for document DRM alone.

What Peony gives you that Digify does not
Organize documents in secure, branded data rooms
Digify shares files one at a time. Peony lets you build structured data rooms with folders, granular permissions, and custom branding — the way investors and buyers expect to receive due diligence materials. Set up a data room in under 5 minutes.
Know exactly which pages your recipients read
Digify shows whether a document was opened. Peony shows every page view, time spent per page, scroll depth, and visitor identity. Know which slides in your pitch deck or which sections of your financial model caught the most attention.
Let your documents answer questions 24/7
Peony gives every data room an AI chat assistant that understands your documents. Investors and partners can ask questions and get instant, accurate answers — without waiting for your team to respond. Digify has no AI capabilities.
Go beyond watermarks with layered protection
Digify offers watermarking and basic DRM. Peony layers screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA-gated access, password protection, 2FA, and link expiry — giving you complete control over every document throughout its lifecycle.
Screenshot protection
Block screen captures of sensitive documents. Digify relies on watermarks to deter leaks — Peony actively prevents screenshots from being taken in the first place.
Dynamic watermarks
Every page stamped with the viewer's identity and timestamp. Both platforms offer watermarking, but Peony combines it with screenshot protection for layered security.
NDA-gated access
Require viewers to sign an NDA before accessing documents. Peony's built-in e-signatures make this seamless — no separate tool needed. Digify has no e-signature or NDA functionality.
"Not often I make recommendations, but I started using Peony to share presentations etc with external people. It works so well & makes us look really organized."

Frequently asked questions
How does Peony compare to Digify for tech sales teams sharing proposals and decks?
Sales reps need to know which prospect opened the proposal and which pages they lingered on. Peony gives every plan page-by-page analytics with real-time notifications so reps can follow up the moment a prospect engages. The Pro plan ($20/admin/mo) adds e-signatures and password protection for closing documents. The Business plan ($40/admin/mo) adds data rooms, AI document chat, Smart Q&A, AI-powered room setup with completeness scoring, auto-indexing with OCR, NDA gating, screenshot protection, custom branding, and controlled redaction. Digify focuses on single-document DRM and watermarking at $190 to $500 per month with no data room functionality and no AI features. Anthony Gale, CEO of PromoLens, switched to Peony because it makes his team look organized with prospects while saving hours every week.
Does Digify offer a free plan for startups sending pitch decks?
No. Digify's cheapest plan (Pro) starts at $190 per month, and their Team plan is $500 per month — prohibitive for a founder sharing pitch decks with early investors. Peony offers a free tier with 2 GB of storage, unlimited links, per-page analytics, AES-256 encryption, and 2FA — so founders can start sharing pitch decks immediately and see exactly which slides each investor reads. The Business plan ($40/admin/mo) adds data rooms, dynamic watermarks, screenshot protection, AI document chat, and NDA gating with no per-viewer or per-link limits.
Can a startup use Peony as a data room for fundraising instead of Digify?
Yes. When founders move from pitch decks to full diligence, Peony scales with them. Peony provides data rooms with folder organization, granular per-user access controls, NDA gating with built-in e-signatures, AI document chat for investor questions, controlled redaction for blacking out sensitive cap table or financial details, and auto-indexing with OCR and full-text search. Digify is designed for individual document sharing and does not offer data room functionality — leaving founders to stitch together multiple tools as fundraising progresses. You can set up a branded Peony data room in under 5 minutes with no sales call required.
Does Peony watermark sales documents the way Digify does?
Yes. When sales reps share pricing proposals or product roadmaps with prospects, Peony's dynamic watermarks on the Business plan ($40/admin/mo) stamp every page with the viewer's identity and timestamp — so if a confidential proposal leaks, you know exactly who shared it. Peony also adds screenshot protection that blocks screen captures, controlled redaction for hiding sensitive pricing tiers, and NDA-gated access. Every plan includes link expiry, 2FA, and per-page analytics, backed by AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and SOC 2-ready, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance. Digify offers watermarking but has no screenshot protection, no NDA gating, no controlled redaction, and no e-signatures.
Which platform gives sales reps better analytics on shared proposals?
Peony gives sales reps significantly more actionable insight than Digify, with no per-viewer or per-link limits. Reps see page-by-page analytics showing exactly which proposal pages each prospect read, how long they spent on pricing versus product sections, their scroll depth, and total viewing time — plus real-time notifications the moment a prospect opens the document. That means a rep can call a prospect while they are still looking at the proposal. Digify's analytics are limited to basic view counts without the page-level granularity sales teams need to prioritize pipeline.
Can startups collect e-signatures in Peony without a separate tool?
Yes. Founders can collect legally binding signatures on NDAs, SAFEs, and term sheets directly inside Peony on the Pro and Business plans — no third-party integration needed. You can also gate data room access behind NDA signing so investors must sign before viewing diligence materials. Digify does not offer e-signature functionality, forcing founders to pay for a separate signing tool and manage yet another vendor during fundraising.
How does Peony pricing compare to Digify for a startup or small sales team?
Peony starts free ($0) with 2 GB storage and per-page analytics — enough for a founder sharing pitch decks or a sales rep tracking a handful of proposals. Pro is $20 per admin per month (200 GB) and adds password protection and e-signatures. Business is $40 per admin per month (1 TB) and adds data rooms, screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA gating, AI document chat, and custom branding with unlimited links. Digify starts at $190 per month for Pro and $500 per month for Team, with no free tier and no data room features at any price. A five-person sales team on Peony Business pays $200 per month for full data rooms and AI — less than half of Digify's Team plan.
Can a tech sales team replace Digify with Peony for secure document sharing?
Absolutely. Sales reps sharing proposals, SOWs, and product demos get everything Digify offers — watermarks, access controls, and tracking — plus full data rooms, AI document chat for prospect questions, Smart Q&A with a structured 4-step workflow, built-in e-signatures, NDA gating, screenshot protection, and controlled redaction. Anthony Gale, CEO of PromoLens, recommends Peony for making his team look organized with prospects and external stakeholders. Teams switching from Digify to Peony typically save over 95 percent on monthly costs while gaining significantly more functionality.
What AI features does Peony offer that Digify lacks for document workflows?
Peony includes four AI capabilities that Digify does not offer. AI document chat lets prospects or investors ask questions about shared documents and get instant answers without waiting for your team. Smart Q&A provides a structured 4-step workflow where counterparties submit questions, AI drafts answers, your team reviews, and approved responses are published — keeping sales and fundraising Q&A organized. AI Rooms score data room completeness and suggest folder structures with missing document flags, so founders know exactly what to upload before sharing with investors. Auto-indexing handles document classification, OCR, and full-text search across your entire data room. All AI features are included on the Business plan ($40/admin/mo) — not sold as add-ons.
Do startups and sales teams actually switch from Digify to Peony?
Yes. Founders and sales reps switch from Digify to Peony for four key reasons: page-level analytics that show which slides each prospect or investor reads (not just open counts), setup in under 5 minutes versus hours of manual file organization, full data rooms for fundraising and deal management instead of single-document DRM, and pricing that starts free versus $190 per month. Anthony Gale, Founder and CEO of PromoLens, started using Peony for sharing proposals with prospects and described it as working so well that it saves his team hours every week. Most teams complete their Digify-to-Peony migration in minutes.
